March 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate passed legislation early on Friday that would finance most of the Department of Homeland Security but withhold funds from ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer's office said in a statement.

The agreement would fund DHS components such as the Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard, the statement said.
